Naor Gilon, the Israeli ambassador to India, stressed the need to defeat Hamas globally in order to stop the rise of extremism, reiterating the idea that the struggle against terrorism, particularly terror organisations like Hamas, continues to be of utmost importance for global security.
Addressing a symposium titled ‘Terror Strikes Israel: Implications for National & International Security,’ Ambassador Gilon said, “The bigger picture here is that if we don’t defeat Hamas, extremists in the world are going to raise their head, and it’s going to be unbearable for all of us.”
The Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security (JISS) arranged this symposium to bring together professionals to talk about the various problems that terrorist organisations might cause.
The symposium’s leading figures in international security and diplomacy stressed the importance of going after terrorist organisations quickly, with Hamas in particular. The occasion gave specialists a forum to discuss their perspectives on the urgent problem of international terrorism.
The Principal Advisor of the Ministry of Defence, Lt. Gen. Vinod Khandare, elaborated on the complexity of today’s security challenges.
He emphasised the interaction between diplomacy and military might, stressing that effective diplomacy depends on military preparedness.
“The countries have to understand that diplomacy goes as long as the military is strong,” he noted.
Lt Gen Khandare pointed out that the era of wars is not over, saying, “So, one cannot start neglecting various fraudulent assessments and fraudulent opinions to say that the era of wars is over, nothing is over.”
“Proxy and conventional both can go hand in hand. Maybe proxy can initiate a conflict, conventional can follow or it can be both together or it can be conventional starts and proxies are inserted into the hinterland,” he added.
The Principal Advisor at the Ministry of Defence also compared Israel’s situation to that of India, noting that both countries are troubled by their neighbours.
“So, all that is going to definitely pose a challenge to many countries who are living in troubled neighbourhoods and Israel and India both are in troubled neighbourhoods, which is not a choice. We have inherited based on what the world or the global bodies gave to us,” he said.
Discussions at the symposium focused light on the ongoing threat posed by terrorist groups and the need for international cooperation to address these security issues.
The conference provided a forum for specialists to discuss and share their knowledge of the many problems that terrorist organisations present. It emphasised the significance of being vigilant and taking preventative action to protect interests in national and international security.
